The Asolo Atlantis GTX women's hiking boot weighs in at just more than 1 lb. for the pair (larger sizes will weigh more). The boot provides not only superior traction with the Matrix rubber sole but the addition of a waterproof Gore-Tex lining. Designed for a woman's foot, there is an active heel support built-in and extra padding around the upper cuff of the boot. The exterior of the boot is made of water-resistant suede and high-tenacity nylon, making the boot highly durable and abrasion-resistant.
Perks
The fact these boots are waterproofed with the Gore-Tex liner is a big plus as it significantly improves their range and functionality. The padding is good, especially at the top of the boot, to prevent shin pain.
Sacrifices
The Atlantis boot requires significant break-in time to not only adjust the boot but to dial-in your sock system and lacing method. They are a stiffer boot than many hiking boots because of the Gore-Tex lining and have a narrow fit.
Bottom Line
An all-around great hiking boot for women, the Asolo Atlantis GTX will take you from rocky day hikes up to the highest dry peaks you can climb. Comfort, range and traction make the Atlantis a sound choice for a multipurpose hiking boot.
